Automated Downscaling of Data Stores

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the set of metrics comprise memory utilization and/or utilization rates.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the set of metrics indicate underutilization associated with at least a portion of the set of data stores when metrics associated with at least one data store fall below a utilization threshold.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising identifying the first data store as a data store to terminate.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the downscaler comprises the pod in a container orchestration environment.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the downscaler is deployed by modifying a replica value associated with the downscaler from zero to one.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the downscaler is terminated by modifying a replica value associated with the downscaler from one to zero.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein when the downscaling operations are being performed, a draining state is configured to indicate the first data store is to maintain a read-only state.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein upon deployment of the downscaler, the downscaler communicates downscaling metrics to indicate performance of downscaling operations, and wherein upon completion of performing the downscaling operations, the downscaler terminates communication of downscaling metrics.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the set of metrics comprise memory utilization and/or utilization rates.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein the set of metrics indicate underutilization associated with at least a portion of the set of data stores when metrics associated with at least one data store fall below a utilization threshold.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein the downscaler comprises a pod in the container orchestration environment.

16. The system of claim 12, wherein the downscaler is deployed by modifying a replica value associated with the downscaler from zero to one.
